Will medical insurance pay for a presription for a dog, for a person will mild depression?

I know that some medical providers (doctors and shrinks) sometimes tell a person to get a dog for mild depression, if they are against taking pills. Will medical insurance companies cover this or part of this prescription. This topic came up at a guys night, as one of my friend's girlfriend is feeling down and her doctor was talking to her about this.

I am sure that if perscribed you could argue the fact and amount of the dog. But I would go on the safe side and just adopt one from the humane society for free.. It will save the dog, and it will save you from having to shell out bucks if they deny the claim.
